ANYmal is a versatile quadruped robot developed by ANYbotics for autonomous inspection and monitoring in challenging industrial environments. Its legged design and AI-based mobility software enable unprecedented performance, including dynamic running, safe climbing over obstacles and stairs, and navigation through narrow corridors, rough terrain, rocky surfaces, slippery areas, and wet conditions. Equipped with advanced sensors like LiDAR for long-range mapping up to 100m, depth cameras for near-field obstacle detection within 2m, stereo cameras, IMU, microphones, thermal cameras, and optional gas sensors, ANYmal performs visual, thermal, acoustic, and gas measurements. It supports fully autonomous operation with SLAM for mapping and path planning, even offline, and can recharge via docking stations. Ruggedized with IP67 protection, it carries up to 10kg payload, making it ideal for energy, construction, and data centers where it conducts scheduled missions, detects anomalies like hotspots or vibrations, and enhances safety by reducing human exposure to hazards.

ANYmal X
Manufactured by ANYbotics
ANYmal X is the world's first Ex-proof legged inspection robot, certified for safe operation in hazardous and potentially explosive environments up to Zone 1, including ATEX/IECEx certification. Designed by ANYbotics for industrial applications like oil & gas and chemical industries, it automates routine inspections to enhance safety and operational efficiency by reducing human exposure to dangerous areas. Key capabilities include exceptional mobility with AI-based navigation for climbing steep stairs, traversing narrow spaces (600mm), slippery, rocky, wet surfaces, and slopes up to ±30°. It features super-human senses with 360° LiDAR for mapping and obstacle avoidance up to 100m, depth cameras for near-field detection within 2m, pan-tilt inspection payload with 20x zoom camera, thermal camera (-10° to +400°C), spotlight, microphone, and optional gas sensors for detecting combustible and toxic gases. The rugged, impact-protected design is IP67 dust- and waterproof, supports autonomous operation with docking stations for recharging, and includes safety features like emergency stop, FCC/CE compliance, and safety handles. ANYmal X self-navigates facilities, remembers tasks, and performs precise inspections in complex, dynamic terrains, enabling fully autonomous missions in all weather conditions.
